A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends upon independent variable s. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation. The dependent variable is sometimes called the outcome variable.. In a simple mathematical equation, for example: a = b/c. the dependent variable, a, is determined by the values of b and c.
Honey and Pregnancy. Pregnant women can safely eat honey. An adult's intestines are more acidic than a baby's and contain beneficial bacteria that prevent the spores from developing into botulism-causing bacteria. Adults -- including pregnant women -- are frequently exposed to botulism spores without becoming ill.
Do not offer honey to your baby, especially wild or raw honey, which is a potential source of bacterial spores. Reduce the risk of botulism when canning food at home. Pressure-cook your home-canned food to prevent contamination with botulinum spores. Boil home-canned foods for ten minutes before serving.
